my footy mood shut down after we beat barce in the 1st leg
now my mind seems to be only set in the 2nd leg UCL
just now rosicky score i also i was showing my stone face at the tv
"ohhh, okay we scored" so what!
why is the 2nd leg not today!!!!

i guess the team is not good enough tonight, thus a replay
never bother to watch the whole game, so i cant comment much
was switching channels on and off

credits to Leyton Orient, thou i dont know how much money they gotten from this draw
but must be sedap!

aisshhh....disappointed in the players not wanting to kill the game off early...AW shud hav subbed some of the players with 10 mins remaining....i think some of them were tired n we needed some fresh legs to ensure the orient players was in their own half until the match ended....but almunia also shud have done better with the goal....really shows why Schezny is no 1 rite now....a gud decision to make him our new no 1....but still the players were not gud enough 2nite....owh n one more thing if we win the replay Arsenal will meet Man Utd at old trafford....

Honestly yes , most of them like Rosicky , Bendter , Chamakh , Gibbs , Denilson etc needs to gets more game , and to regain sharpness , as AW always said . At least we didn't put in Cesc or Nasri and still lost it .

Meanwhile, in Spain - some good news for Arsenal. Barcelona's keeper, Valdes, is injured and could miss the return game at the Nou Camp

i will let denilson go anytime now than bendtner.

Either Van Persie or Djourou/Koscielny gets injured and we are officially screwed.

Chamakh looks even worse than Adebayor at his worst at the moment and everything has gone downhill for Squillaci.

Well Almunia...I don't think I'll even have to say a word....

Wednesday, 23rd Stoke (H)
Sunday, 27th Birmingham (CC)
Wednesday, 2nd Leyton Orient (H)
Saturday, 5th Sunderland(H)

Potential burn out right there. The schedule is hectic as shit since we're going on all 4 fronts, and it doesn't help that we've been playing too many replay matches. Just hope no meltdown from the players from such intense playing times.

Oh boy. A replay that we could really avoid.

After looking at the team sheet I knew sOmething will go wrong.

Anyway credits to leyton orient. Maybe wenger is using this match to double confirm who had to go in the summer.

Miss the match, had a nightmare we lost 3-0. When woke up, glad to hear it's only a draw.

ouh its okay..the replay is like a reward for some of orient player which is a gooner. Creds to them tho. Field 2cnd team again next round. Let it be a fitness match. Call ramsey back!

omg..if we get thru, we going to playt with manu

I'm ok with the draw.. Anyway this draw doesn't affect our schedules.. Those who don't understand, this match is for 2nd team.. Even reply also will use 2nd team.. Our 1st eleven were rested, so reply like additional match for us to watch.. Cos we do believe we can make it on the reply..

Injury or burnt out?.. If those 2nd team sitting on the bench, they will lose their fitness sharp, so why so angry when is a draw in FA CUP?.. I take even a draw in OT and reply at Emirates.. More game for me to watch our 2nd team or reserve..

Our 1st eleven instead of watching the match at home, they watch at bench, that is ok, guys.. Relax.. Why must F here F there? U don't believe our 2nd team can beat them at home or u don't believe Arsenal?

Keep the focus Gunners! I guess once in a while the so called reserves will let us down a bit! But I'm sure AW will get the team right again for the next match!

Looking forward to the CC glory!

Have some faith in our team. On our good day, we can beat any team in the world. Yesterday's match is no fair reflection of the whole team. For one thing, yesterday's match shows that the second string players need more game time. So I guess its a benefit for them having a replay in the FA Cup.

ya.. cos reply we will have chance to watch player like Chamakh, Rosicky, Gibbs, Bendtner play...

BTW, if you didnt realise.. yesterday

v.Persie
Nasri, Fabregas, Wilshere, Walcott
Clichy, Kos6, Djourou
S53

all didn't play, not even subtitution appearances.. so they are rested..
only two 1st eleven played, Song and Sagna(cos suspended for UCL)..

Reply will not burden our 1st team.. so dun worry.. reply is another 90mins for u to watch Arsenal...

i fully agreed with u. its for gaining match fitness for 2nd string

Replay as training time for the 2nd eleven is ok. Can't maintain the battle at 4 fronts if only 1st eleven is fit and the 2nd eleven rusty.

haihz.the match itself looks like training match for me.no real urgency to score and win.part of me was hoping we lose this as the fixtures are very very tight for us.plus,if we win,we'll go to old trafford.but the other part of me says as long as arsene plays the fringe players,it won't harm us much.i hope arsene really plays the second team for the replay.

when they gain their fitness and sharpness.. then AW will have more player to choose..

just like Arshavin is not back to his best, he can play another 90mins vs opp to gain his top form instead of trying at BPL...
